Not enough people know how delicious other strains of mushrooms can be and I was hoping people would be willing to donate common spores to members who want a variety.

Clearly you cant cultivate from mushroom tissue at the store but maybe it would be easier to send samples of tissue? I dont know, Im just begining and heard there was an exchange thread? Well everyone has to start somewhere Sorry if this exists or no one wants to do it but I searched and couldnt find it/really want to get people to try other mushrooms than shiitake and white button

clearly you can clone a store bought mushroom. Oysters are always alive.

--------------------Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

i think you didn't search very well... here's a linkhttp://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/1299869/an/0/page/3from were you can exchange gourmet agar wedges - don't forget to read the first postyou could also try FSP - Free Spore Prints org http://www.freesporeprints.org and request spore prints from them, not many in stock but some good choices tough - Agaricus Augustus, Agaricus bisporus (Champignon), Hypholoma capnoides, Kuehneromyces mutabilis, Pholiota nameko, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Pleurotus salmoneus/djamor - don't forget to support them.or you could start a "VVVVV gets a print thread!" for gourmet mushrooms
